Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs) are one of the nation’s most important tools for expanding access to affordable housing, yet millions of eligible households remain unserved, and many voucher holders continue to face significant barriers in securing housing. This session will provide the latest updates on federal funding for the Housing Choice Voucher program, policy developments affecting voucher availability and utilization, and efforts to ensure that voucher recipients can access the housing and neighborhoods of their choice free from discrimination.
